Jared Northcott — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 20:21:20 +0000

The World’s First Adventure Bike? The “CT” series bikes from Honda have a long and storied history, honestly calling the bikes legendary is not an overstatement. The current Honda marketing refers to the Trail 125 as “the world’s favorite motorcycle,” and I kind of think they are right. Starting in the early 60s’, Honda has sold millions of Trail bikes in versions ranging from 50cc to 250cc. Often marketed towards outdoors enthusiasts, the CTs were rapidly launched into endless utilitarian […]

Armed with this knowledge, BMW partnered with one of the largest manufacturers of motorcycles in India, TVS Motors.
